Additional informations
Between April 1943 and the collapse of the Italian state in September 1943, the Regia Aeronautica received quite a few Ju 87 D-3's. These were former Luftwaffe aircraft .The aircraft represented here was stationed on Sardinia. This machine flew a mission against Allied forces on Sicily on the 12th of July 1943, where Allies had landed two days earlier. Despite murderous anti-aircraft fire one freighter of 7000 tons was sunk.
This aircraft still had the original RLM 70/71/65 Luftwaffe paint scheme. The German markings were replaced by Italian ones and the spinner tip and the "1" on the fuselage were probably red. |

1978 I was born in Vienna
and I am working as technical employee in an architect's office.
I am building plastic models since I am 12. It started with
a F-16 Fighting Falcon in 1/32, which was followed by a few
cars and trucks. A Heinkel He111 H-6 in 1/72 brood my interest
for the German Luftwaffe. Since 2001 I am creating color profiles
also.
Some of them have been already published in relevant magazines
and books. The motto for building models and drawing profiles
is the same: Learning by Doing. To practise my passion it is
required to collect the necessary documentation, an expensive,
but interesting hobby, especially when I can obtain rare second
hand aviation antiquars. |
